VICTORIA

The moment our lips met, everything else dropped away.

The kiss wasn’t soft or careful or anything I could pretend was a mistake. It felt direct, like something that had been waiting for too long and finally broke through. I didn’t think, and that was the problem.

Because I always thought.

This time, I didn’t.

The tension that had been sitting between us all night had turned into something real. It wasn’t gentle, it wasn’t slow, and it didn’t give me space to step back. It pulled me in

    VICTORIAI didn’t leave the office immediately after that.I stayed for a while, going through the files again, even though I already knew what they said. It wasn’t about understanding anymore. It was about making sure I didn’t miss anything.But there was nothing new.Just the same truth, sitting there, waiting.Eventually, I shut my laptop and stood up.There was nothing else to do here tonight.I grabbed my things and left the office without saying goodbye to anyone. Most people were already gone anyway. The building felt quiet, almost empty.The drive home felt longer than usual.Or maybe I just noticed it more.By the time I got to my place, the city lights were already bright, stretching across the skyline like nothing had changed.But everything had.I stepped into my room and dropped my bag on the chair without thinking. My heels came off next, one after the other, landing softly on the floor.Then I walked toward the window.I stood there for a while, just looking out.The ci

    VICTORIAThe idea grew heavier in my mind, threading through everything I’d seen over the last few months.I went back through every interaction, every glance, every carefully measured word. The summit came first. The way he had anticipated every move, every question, every challenge. Nothing he did then had been casual or reactive. It had been precise. Then the aftermath. When the media had exploded, when investors had panicked, when the board had called emergency meetings. He had been calm, methodical, always one step ahead. It hadn’t struck me then, but now it was clear. He hadn’t been caught off guard at all.I leaned forward, elbows on the desk, pressing my hands lightly to my forehead. The realization didn’t make me angry yet. I wasn’t emotional. I was just cold. He hadn’t just stayed connected longer than he admitted. He had been guiding things, subtly and quietly all along.Every time I thought I had caught a mistake or a surprise, I noticed how quickly he corrected it. How h

    VICTORIAI didn’t move for a while.The screen stayed lit in front of me, but I wasn’t reading anymore. I was just staring at it, letting everything settle in my head.Because reacting too fast would be a mistake. And I didn’t make those anymore.This time, I didn’t confront him immediately. I read everything first.Every detail. Every signature. Every date.Slowly and carefully, like I was picking it apart piece by piece.The document wasn’t long, but it said enough. It showed connections that were never fully cut. I went back to the first page again, then the last, then the middle, making sure I didn’t miss anything.Because if I was going to act on this, I needed to be right. Not emotional or reactive.Minutes passed, maybe more. The office stayed quiet around me, but my mind didn’t.It moved fast. Too fast.Connecting things. Putting pieces together. And then the pattern became clear.Clark had stayed connected to Trent longer than he admitted. Not openly, but enough to matter an

    VICTORIAThe next morning came too fast.I barely slept, but that didn’t matter. The moment I opened my eyes, my phone was already buzzing on the nightstand like it had been waiting for me.I had numerous messages, emails, and missed calls. Everything had started. The time change forced everything into motion.By the time I got to the office, the building already felt different. People moved faster. Voices were lower but sharper. Everyone knew something was happening, even if they didn’t have the full details.My legal team was scrambling. Investors had started calling. And the media had picked it up within hours.“Miss Hale, are you aware of the reports?” one of my assistants asked as she hurried beside me.“I’m aware,” I said without slowing down.“Do you want us to release a statement?”“Not yet.”“But—”“Not yet,” I repeated, a bit firmer this time.She nodded quickly and fell silent.The pressure I had felt before doubled instantly. But I didn’t show it.I walked into the first m

    CLARKWatching her walk away from me after that felt worse than anything that had happened in that room earlier.And that was saying something.Because a few minutes ago, she had been right in front of me. Close enough that I could still feel it. Close enough that I knew she felt it too, no matter how much she tried to act like it didn’t matter.But now? Now she was already moving on.Her focus had shifted the second that phone call came in. Just like that, everything between us got pushed aside like it didn’t exist.I stayed where I was for a second, watching her.She didn’t look back. Of course, she didn’t.Victoria didn’t do that. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t second-guess herself. Once she decided something, that was it. And right now, she had decided that whatever happened between us wasn’t important.Or at least, that was what she wanted me to believe.I let out a quiet breath and ran a hand through my hair before following her.She was already by the desk again, scrolling thr

There was a pause, just small enough for me to notice it. That small moment where he could have pulled away.He didn’t.Then just like that, the hesitation disappeared like it had never been there. His hand moved to my arm, firm but not rough, steady in a way that made everything feel more certain.What scared me. wasn’t the kiss or the closeness of our bodies. It was him. Because it meant he wasn’t holdin

    VICTORIAThe room was full before I even walked in.That was how I knew this panel was important.Cameras lined the walls. Phones were already raised. Investors, editors, and designers filled every seat, dressed like they wanted to be noticed but not remembered. The air buzzed with quiet excitement

    ISABELLABy the time the sun came up, the story was already moving.That was how I knew I did it right.I sat at my kitchen table with my laptop open, a mug of cold coffee untouched beside me, watching the headlines in real time like a chess piece moved one square forward and suddenly the whole boa

    VICTORIA I didn’t react when she said it.Not because I didn’t hear her, but because reacting would have given her some kind of leverage.“I’m pregnant.”The words hung between us, but my face stayed calm. I took my time to study her for a while. I did it slowly and carefully, without any emotion.

    VICTORIAI met her in a quiet place on purpose.There were no cameras or an audience, so there would be no chance for her to perform.It was a rented apartment on the Upper East Side, one of those clean spaces that looked like no one had ever really lived there. It had a white couch, a glass table,
